The Truth Regarding AC Boathouse & Stockton University

The truth regarding the Atlantic City Boathouse, the Atlantic City Board of Education, the City of Atlantic City, and Stockton University has finally become self-evident.

We can now confirm that plans are currently in the works to transfer ownership of the Atlantic City Boathouse from the Atlantic City Board of Education to the City of Atlantic City.

This fact is incontrovertible and here it is in writing:

The above confirms that city ownership of “The Boathouse acquisition pending”

It never was about the school district's plan to use the boathouse more, which necessitated Stockton University being ousted.

It’s always been about something else. Multiple City sources (who are unwilling to allow us to release their names publicly for fear of political retaliation from The Smalls) advised that Marty Small wanted more availability of the boathouse for non-city, undisclosed reasons.
